Haemoglobin EQA for use with HemoCue Haemoglobin analysers
Description

 


External Quality Assessment Scheme for
Blood Haemoglobin



EQA (External Quality Assessment) Schemes provide essential information regarding the precision and accuracy of analytical systems on a regular basis. (An analytical system comprises the analyser, analytical reagents and, of course, the operator).

All data is collated and entered onto the EuroTrol interactive website before a predetermined deadline. Thereafter summary reports can be downloaded and redistributed to participants by conventional means or where possible and convenient, reviewed via individually password protected access to the website. Prospect Diagnostic’s EQA team will co-ordinate all aspects of the scheme including data acquisition and summary report distribution for all participants who do not have internet access themselves.

This EQA Scheme has been originated and developed as a minimal cost additional service for HemoCue users throughout the UK. We trust that you will appreciate the benefits of becoming a subscriber.

If you require any further explanation, information or assistance, I would encourage you to contact Amy Smith on 01246 292955 or by e-mail amy.smith@prospectdiagnostics.co.uk.
